JUDGMENT AGAINST BEAHLER BONDSMEN

Absconding Administrator of Es-Ute-in This County Stuck Bondsmen at Goodland. The result of the suit against the bondsmen of William j. Beahler, the absconding administrator of the estate left by his parents, was briefly mentioned a few days ago in The Republican, but a more complete review of the case may be interesting to readers. The estate consisted of 200 acres of land in Jasper county, not far from Goodland, Newton county, and Beahler lived at Goodland. The land was encumbered. Beahler was also the guardian of the minor heirs of his deceased sister, the three Wein children. In 1902 Beahler sold the land on the approval of the court and the cash he had.on hands was about $5,500. He settled in full with Della Wein, who had been married. Beahler made reports to the court until 1906, his last report showing that he owed Frederick Wein $1,600_ and Emma Wein SBOO. Some time after that he skipped'out and his whereabouts have been unknown since that time, although a little more than a year ago it was learned that he was in Colorado and Sheriff Hoover went there to make the arrest on a grand jury indictment, but Beahler had evidently been put wise and he was not there when the sheriff arrived. His wife, however, was there. A lookout for Mm since that time has not availed anything. On Beahler’s bond were Z. F. Little, Fred D. Gilman, George Clymer, William and Elmer Bringham, all of Newton county. It seems that some time before Beahler skipped out he had taken the proceeds of the sale of the real estate and invested in land near Winamac, Pulaski county, in his own name. He later traded or sold the farm and went into the laundry business at Hammond, where he failed entirely, losing the money held in trust for the Wein children. He is now supposed to be living in Colorado at this time. The case was tried at Kentland last week, Beahler and the bondsmen being the defendants and Beahler not being present. The court’s decision gave the plaintiffs judgment for $3,700, being the principal and interest to date. The bondsmen will, have this to pay, but it is probable that they will appeal to the higher court. Frank Foltz, of Rensselaer, was the attorney for the plaintiffs.

Describes City, Its People, Indus tries, the Negro and the Climate in Characteristic Style. f Loxley, Alabama. Editors Republican: Having stopped several days in Mobile I will, state for the benefit of your readers that it is a clean healthy city, situated near the point where the Alabama river enters the Mobile bay, about thirtyfive miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Hundreds of vessels of every class visit the wharves except the largest ocean steamers and sail craft. There are two large depots, one of which is a terminal accommodating five different roads. There is a rushing trade in all the general staples of the world, but the chief exports seem to be cotton,, molasses, rice, turpentine and lumber. The leading imports are bananas from central America, Mexico and the West Indies, and hay and grain from the north. The boarding houses set excellent table and the rates are reasonable. The citizens are very courteous and obliging. The negroes know their place and keep it. Twenty per cent of them are at work in the warehouses, running the drays, driving cabs and buses, handling freight at the wharves and running all kinds of water craft, etc., while the other eighty per cent are fishing at the docks, drinking beer in the saloons (which are all wide open to the street) shooting craps, stand-

ing about in groups telling and laughing, or lying about on piles of lumber, absorbing sunshine, while the surplus fat fries out of their black necks and faces. The streets are surely ideal, well paved, brojad, clean and shaded for miles by old live oak trees, from which Spanish moss hangs in festoons, glistening in the sunshine like “Silver Threads Among the Gold.” Many mammoth magnolias lend their shade and beauty to the parks and streets. ‘The Last Rose of Summer” is still seen on many a moss-covered brick or cement wall. Pansies and many other flowers are still seen in the gardens and walk borders. Holly and mistletoe abound in the suburbs.

Many massive church buildings and one old Spanish cathedral, covering a whole block, show the religious tendency of the' people. One thing which impressed me very forcibly was that during my stay, visiting parks, shows, business houses, wharves, boats, hotels, depots, etc., I did not hear a single oath from black or white. The fish markets are piled high with a great variety of fresh gnd salt water fish, among which are red fish, red snappers, mullet, and sailors’ choice, also plenty of oysters, lobsters and turtles from down the bay. Oysters are sold on the market at fifty cents a hundred. The climate Is delightful, the brilliant sunshine giving a temperature in the day time of 70 degrees, made refreshing and balmy by the sea breeze by day and a land breeze at night. The nights are much cooler than daytime, bringing an occasional frost, but snow has not been seen in Mobile for twelve years. Respectfully and sincerely yours, JOHN E. ALTER.

Slight Change in Date of State G. A. R. Encampment.

The dates of the encampment of the G. A. R. were changed by the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce in Indianapolis, Saturday, from May 20, 21 and 22 to May 21, 22 and 23, on account of the committee being unable to get Tomlinson hall for use on May YO. The change in dates will not interfere with arrangements that have been made for the encampment and the various committees appointed to look after the welfare of.the veterans and arrange for their coming and their entertainment will continue work as usual. Oran Perry, chairman of the parade committee, appeared before the executive committee, Saturday and told what arrangements are being made for the parade. He said he had extended invitations to all military and civil bodies of the city to participate in the parade. There is nothing healthier or better for food at this time of year than dried or evaporated fruits, and they have not been as cheap and as fine a quality for a good many years. New fancy evaporated peaches, nectarines, apples, plums, white cooking figs, loose muscatel seedless or seeded raisins, 3 pounds for 25c. Prunes, 3, 4 and 5 pounds

Graduate of Rensselaer High School to Be a Missionary.

Miss Emma, Tanner, daughter of Ed Tanner, of Barkley township, who graduated from the Rensselaer high school in 1909, will complete a four-years’ course in the Taylor Theological Seminary at Upland, Ind., in June, Her course has been in special preparation for-mission-ary work. Miss Tanner is to be married the coming summer to a Methodist minister, who will serve two years as a pastor in this country and it is their plan then to go to China, where they will become missionaries. The many friends of Miss Tanner here will be interested to know that she has made splendid progress in her college work and also to hear of her future plans.

O. C. Halstead will hold a public sale on February 12th at his farm in Newton township. He has rented his farm to J. U. Iliff, of south of town, and will board with them and look after the marketing of his corn and some fencing and other Work on his mother’s farm. George H. Marr was down from DeMotte today. He reports that C. D. Shook has been able to work right along during the winter on his stone road contract north of DeMotte and that he has it all completed but about a half a mile. The contract was for 3% miles extending south from the Kankakee river to within a half mile of DeMotte. It will probably be the most popular route between Rensselaer and Chicago. Sain Zard, son of Fritz Zard, of Mitchell, S. Dak., arrived yesterday for a visit of several weeks with friends in and near Rensselaer. Sam played some baseball with Rensselaer when he was here two years ago and indicated that he would be willing to remain here all summer if there was anything doing in that line. He gave promise, of Ing Into a first-class pitcher when he was here before.

Otto Braun, the band instructor, was in Rensselaer Tuesday and stated that he well knew both of the Hebron young men who were compelled to run through the street at Kouts while people poured ice cold water on them. He says that both are regarded as good boys at home, that they had gone to Kouts to a dance and had imbibed at the saloons in that place and evidently becanie badly intoxicated. He thinks the firing of the bam was accidental and he was very indignant at the people of Kouts for the punishment they meted out to the boys. He said that the town is disgraced with five or six saloons and that ft would have been better if the people had devoted their energies to eradicating the saloons instead of indulging in barbarous punishment of some one debauched in them.

W. H. Beam found an old picture at his home a few days ago and took it to the depot to exhibit to friends. It is a picture of the old depot at Reynolds, where he worked when he first secured a job telegraphing. The depot was an old passenger coach set off on one side of the track and slightly altered. The coach was the first one built for and used by the New Albany and Salem railroad and the lettering could still be seen on the side at the . time the picture was taken in 1883, thirty years ago. Billy recollects some unpleasant things as well as some interesting ones in connection with the picture. The most unpleasant-was the fact that the floor was thin and the coach set up about four or flve feet from the ground and in the cold winter weather of that period it was next to impossible to keep warm.

Will Bond, son of W. D. Bond, formerly residents of the latter’s farm near Pleasant Ridge, but for the past two years of New Buffalo, Mich., is here for a visit of a week with his grandmother, Mrs. Peter May, and other relatives and many old friends. Will finished the junior year in the Rensselaer high school two years ago and the following year graduated at New Buffalo, the course being much the same. Before his graduation he bought out a grocery and market business at New Buffalo and has since been conducting It and very successfully, too. The town has a population of only- about 600 people in the winter time, but In the summer It is a popular resort for Chicago people and the population swells to about 1,500. Will reports that his father has a good farm investment there and Is quite well pleased, notwithstanding the fact that the farm he sold in Jasper county for SBO per acre before he left here has since sold for $l5O an acre, which generally causes a fellow to feel tolerably homeSickf

A large lot of farm machinery for sale February 4th. at the dissolution sale at ’Parr, of Kurrle, Babcock and Thompson.

ATTORNEY ELOQUENT IN COURT BRIEF

Daniel Fraser Diverges From Cold Argument in C. L. Hensler and Fountain Park Discussion. A copy of the brief prepared by Daniel Fraser, as one of the attorneys for the appellees in the case of Christian L. Hensler vs. Fountain Park Association, has reached The Republican office. Associated with Mr. Fraser in this trial were Will H. Isham, of Fowler, and Frank Foltz, of>4sensselaer. Mr. Fraser digressed from the custom of presenting cold facts in higher court briefs and waxed eloquent in setting forth the high motives that inspired the organisation of Fountain Park and in appealing to the mental culture of the people as opposed to the greed of money getting. The Republican quotes from the brief the following: The influence for good in the community, of this Chautauqua Society, is a continuing one of the welfare of the public.

Its place is in the center of a rich and populous part of the state. Its teaching and influence are well calculated to raise the thoughts to higher things and to dedicate life to nobler purposes. The people of all the country, by the enterprise and unselfishness of the gentlemen who devoted their time and money to the upbuilding of this company, have been enabled for a time every year, to cast off dull care, and to dwell a little in that higher kingdom, and have the benefit of the thoughts and counsels of the wisest and most accomplished statesmen, scholars, artists and dreamers of the age. There under the shade of the trees thousands have seen in the

word pictures of Mr. Bryan; the sunset on the Bay of Naples; the walls of the Holy City were made to rise before them; the long ways of the world were brought near with all their wonders; the gray desert stretched before their eyes from the Nile—past the Pyramids—until its purple shadows mingled with the clouds; from Mount Tabor where the Savior once stood with his friends, they saw the Vailay of the Jordan people again; the dome of St. Peter’s and the Gold Cross of St. Paul’s glistened in the setting sun and the frescoes on the walls gleamed in their undying luster.

By gifted travelers, the old world was brought to the new and every hope and aspiration of the soul was voiced by silver tongues. The kindly Bishop and Jean the Strong Convict, Were made to live again by magic words; these people saw the landscape of France; the chill moonlit night; the gendarms with their muskets; the Convict with his knotted staff and the sliver candle-stick; they heard the glorified falsehood of the priest: “I gave it to him—here is the other he forgot.” The people there learned the lesson from this most striking scene in fiction, by the genius of Mr. Dolliver.

Many will long remember his appeal for the awakening spirit of man’s humanity to than: “O man, who ever thou art, thou wast named at thy birth my brother; O man, wherever thou art, thou art In my heart.” This enterprise realized in a mensuse, for the toilers in the rich corn land, the inspiration of James Martineau who sought to make men understand that the mind could be made a kingdom, with treasures rich and rare. In a strain of unrivaled elevation of thought and purity of language, he says:— “He that cannot leave his work shop or village, let him have his passport to other countries, and find communion in a distant age; it will enable him to look up into those silent faces that cannot deceive, and take the hand of solemn guidance that will never mislead or betray. The ground—plot of a man’s own destiny may be closely shut In and the cottage of his rest small; but if the Story of this Old World be not quite strange to himif he can find his way through Its vanished cities to hear the plead Ings of Justice or watch the worship of the gods; if he can visit the bat-tle-fields where the infant life of nations has been baptized in blopd; if he can steal Into the prisons where the lonely martyrs have waited for their death; If he can walk in the garden or beneath the porch where the lovers of wisdom discourse; if the experience of his own country and the struggles that consecrate the very soil beneath his feet are no secret to him; if he can listen to Latimer at Paul’s Cross, and tend the wounded-Hampden in the woods at Chaigrove, and gaze upon familiar faces, at the pop traits of More and Baxter—he consciously belongs to a grander life

than could be given by territorial possessions; he venerates an ancestry auguster than a race of kings; and is richer in sources of character than any prince or monarch.”— (The Friendships of History.) These gentlemen believe that life ought to hold something more than toil and suffering; that its rewards should not altogether be measured in lands and goods. They knew that many eould not journey to far off lands; that many had not the leisure to spend in libraries and galleries of art and they sought to Widen their horizon and to bring things from afar to their own place.

How Any Woman Can Cure Indigestion

Most stomach remedies are makeshifts—they give relief but afterward the stomach Is just as weak, just as unable to digest the food as it was before. Women especially should not depend on relievers only. MI-O-NA Stomach Tablets not only give prompt relief but they put strength and elasticity into the stomach walls and cause the digestive juices to act naturally. They do more; they force the digestive organs to supply the blood with pure nourishment which is carried to the muscles, nerves, brain and skin. Result: healthy muscles, strong nerves, clear head, and dean skin. B. F. Fendlg guarantees Ms-O-NA Stomach Tablets—so cents.
